    What is wrong with us??? “Officials in NYC said they would close public schools only as last resort, in part because about 114,000 students in school system are homeless and may have nowhere else to get hot meals, medical care or even a place to wash their dirty laundry” @nytimes

    Immediate public housing, universal health care, and counseling and social services support, immediately. I think we should each ask ourselves what we would want if it were our niece or nephew, no?

    Intolerable: our campus at Columbia has been turned into a police state. Amsterdam and 116th blockaded. Morningside from 114th to 118th blockaded. Nothing but NYPD, no one else present. Leaving office now, empty hallways except 6 guards. All the trappings of authoritarian state.

    Foucault's *Nietzsche* just arrived, all 410 pages of it! The official publication date @EditionsduSeuil is May 31, 2024, but the publisher has already run through the first printing and has ordered a second run. The book should be available in libraries any time now...

    Le 25 juin 1984 disparaissait le #philosophe Michel Foucault, titulaire de la chaire Histoire des systèmes de pensée. À l'occasion de ce quarantième anniversaire, le Collège de France met à disposition du public les enregistrements de ses cours. 👉 college-de-france.fr/fr/actualites/…

    The value of Nietzsche and Foucault "for the sake of life." I have a new article titled "On Critical Genealogy" that just published in *Contemporary Political Theory* arguing for a new way to think about the genealogical method. It is online in Open Access rdcu.be/dSwA8

    NYPD cops issued 99 percent of jaywalking tickets to Black and Hispanic people in the first quarter of this year. Just think about that for a minute... | Campaign To Remove NYPD From Traffic Enforcement Gains Steam nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/06/25/cam… via @StreetsblogNYC

    Faculty need to reassert the academic mission and take back the university from central administrators who are not faithful to our shared values. Essential reading by my brilliant law colleague David Pozen on the presidentialization of Columbia University: balkin.blogspot.com/2024/05/seeing…

    South of 96th Street??? Do they have no shame?? Do they not have ANY self-awareness or criticality of how constantly racist and classist they are? Could it be any more obvious that they are just protecting white property? Appalling. The whole thing: appealing. 8pm?? #Getoutahere!

    Spinoza’s home near Leiden is a treasure. So peaceful and centered. Thinking back to conversation with Toni Negri at #Revolution1313. Visit Spinozahuis here: museum.nl/nl/museum-het-… More photos on Insta: instagram.com/p/CgXqAnBuhLs/…
